When Engineers Drink

It's good to be back with the team I worked with in Japan. Lots of characters in this group. Last night we met at the hotel lobby to have one drink before figuring out a place for dinner. Unfortunately, each time someone's glass was getting low, they would look around and if anyone else had more than half a drink left, it was obligatory to get your glass refilled. It became clear that the only way we were going to get out of there was if we all finished our drinks at the same time. Being engineers, we discussed the possibility of making a spreadsheet to calculate what time we would all be in synch. That never happened and we never made it to dinner and I lost count of the pints of Fat Tire somewhere around midnight.
